Creating and Maintaining Geographic Zones (WGZN)
Purpose: Use this menu option to create, change, delete, or display geographic zone information.
Use of geographic zones: Geographic zones are regions of the country which relate to relative weather conditions. Geographic zones are used by the zone reservation process to restrict shipping of weather-sensitive inventory such as plant stock. Each geographic zone will have a different date window during which particular kinds of stock can be shipped. See Shipping Zone Reservation Overview.
